Levi's 511 raw indigo
Levi's 511 washed grey
APC New Cures indigo
Kicking Mule Workshop Rockers raw black
Crate James III indigo
Nudie Slim Jims dry japan
Evisu raw black (probably fake so I bike around in them)

I pretty much try to rotate between all of them as much as possible (except for the Levi's 511 raws because they're pretty broken in so I just use them as beaters).

How do you like the Chimalas? Due to sizing down + soak, mine are more like slim straights, which I prefer. The denim is crazy- very coarse weave and stretchy. As a result, I need to always wear a belt with them even though they fit well. They are very comfortable, though. I can tell these are going to fade pretty quickly. I see signs of fading after about 10 wears. Mine are just barely long enough, but I wish they were londer so I could cuff.

Try wearing them, then when they get dirty, wash them.

Four pairs of RRL straight leg raws. I'm slowly getting rid of everything else so that I can focus on creating four awesome pairs. I'm interested to see how different the four will turn out after 6 months or so each. I'm hoping that same canvas can equal different pictures.

pretty modest collection:

for proper wear:

nudie regular alf
apc new standard

diesel zathan that are older and don't wear often but still wear when i just want something comfy

and a couple of pairs of levis that i just wear for doing outdoor work in.


i'd like to get a pair of earnest sewns in a dark wash. which will give me two raws and 1 dark washed in my proper rotation. i don't like having too much to choose from. and i'll still have the diesels for wearing round the house and going to the supermarket or beach or something.
